ESPN: Smith worst QB in NFC West and getting worse

Originally posted by OregonNiner87:Glad you had to make a whole thread about it, noob.

how sad is it that a nobody like Derek Anderson is 2-1 and we pay a guy $50 mil to be worse and 0-3 to boot

dont understand espn's conclusion about derek anderson at all. in the first game he showed his limitations, the 2nd game was a blowout and yesterday they won because the raiders' former 1st-round pick, janikowski, missed the uprights in the last second of the game.
alex smith showed at least against the saints that he can go for the win...i wonder what espn whould say about anderson if the raiders won the game.

But his thread title is misleading in a way. It does not say getting worse unless he means the red arrow which is an indicator of his stock which is down the week. Last week Smith was number 2 and his stock was up (green arrow pointing up).

It's simply another unnecessary Smith thread. There are enough of those already.

"Smith has thrown three of his five interceptions on third down. He failed to build upon the tying drive he led against New Orleans a week ago. The 49ers have problems beyond Smith right now, but it's tougher to say Smith is part of the solution after a 0-3 start and two horrid road performances. Smith probably remains the 49ers' best option after the team traded away Shaun Hill. But if NFL teams had to choose their starters for Week 4 from the current starters in the division, I don't think Smith would generate much momentum. The 49ers have converted only five times in 32 third-down chances on the road."

the red arrow down implies that he has gotten worse.

No it's a stock indicator not an idicator that he is "getting worse". Bad performance = stock drops = red arrow. Just like Kiper has used in the past.
